She built a business and made life changing money. Now she’s doing it again

In this episode of Femme and Fortune, I sit down with Victoria Peppiatt, three-time founder and Co-CEO of Hey Savi, the AI-powered fashion platform she describes as Shazam for fashion.Vic's journey is remarkable. She ran creative agency The Pink Group with her husband for 11 years, sometimes putting the mortgage on a credit card to keep things going. Then she co-founded Phrasee, an AI marketing platform, and scaled it to a multi-million pound exit. That sale changed everything, not just for her but for the friends and family who backed her early. Some of her angel investors walked away with life-changing, tax-free returns.We talk about what it actually takes to build a business worth selling, the difference between a lifestyle business and one built for an exit, why timing your sale matters so much, and what she learned taking on VC money. Vic is also refreshingly honest about the cost of it all: the years of travel, the time away from her children, and the moment a family illness put the money into perspective.And we get into a subject close to my heart: why women don't talk about money enough, how deals get done in networks we're often not part of, and how to start angel investing even if you're beginning small.If you've ever wondered whether you could build something worth millions, or back someone who will, this one is for you.Sign up to my newsletter for more on building wealth: https://ayeshaofori.com/newsletter/
